Ventilation duct cleaning near Earlswood

About our ventilation duct cleaning in Earlswood

We get into the ducts through access panels along each run. Where there are not enough panels to reach every section, we note the uncleaned parts in the report, and we can fit new panels so they’re covered next time. If you have dirty diffusers dropping dust into rooms and poor airflow from the vents, we can help.

In a place like Earlswood, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When it’s something else

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Damaged ductwork beyond cleaning
  • Building management settings that run the plant
  • A system that isn’t designed to move enough air

If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

  • Grilles and diffusers
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • General extract ductwork
  • Supply ductwork
  • Toilet extract systems
  • Offices and schools

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Keep filters changed on time
  • Tell your facilities team about dirty diffusers
  • Keep to the inspection interval in your report
  • Don’t block grilles with furniture or storage

The report includes a recommended date for the next inspection, based on what we found. Put it in the diary now so it doesn’t slip.

Keep filters changed on time. Overloaded or poorly seated filters let dust straight through.

Common questions in Earlswood

Do you work at weekends in Earlswood?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Earlswood does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you clean school ventilation in Earlswood in the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 13 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Earlswood, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.

How does TR19 Air differ from TR19 Grease?

TR19® Air deals with general ventilation, while TR19® Grease deals with kitchen extract. Under TR19® Air, inspection decides when cleaning is needed.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.

Who is the responsible person?

The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

How it works

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a single shift for a small office to a planned programme of nights for a large building. We plan the journey to Earlswood and bring what the job is likely to need.

  1. First we check the layout and any past paperwork.
  2. Inspection points are chosen and the ducts examined.
  3. The work area is protected and the system switched off.
  4. Ducts, grilles and diffusers are cleaned and the debris taken away.
  5. The report records what was cleaned, anything not reached and a next inspection date.

How to prepare

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Getting a quote

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Different parts, different methods

Schools and colleges

We plan the work around the school calendar and agree access with the site team.

Extract ductwork

Extract fans pull air through these ducts, so a blocked duct strains them. A clean duct takes the load off.

Multi-site and managed buildings

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Earlswood and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

When to call us in Earlswood

Ventilation hygiene often gets left out of planned maintenance. Plant can be well serviced while the ductwork goes untouched for years.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Ductwork with too few access panels to clean
  • Ventilation that needs a TR19® Air inspection
  • Stuffy rooms and stale air
  • Damp or stale smells from grilles

Workplaces around Earlswood (Surrey) station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

What your quote should include

  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Our hiring checklist

Earlswood buildings and their air

Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities and about 20 care, childcare and hospital premises registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Earlswood. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Earlswood’s nearest hospital, East Surrey Hospital, is about 0.7 miles south-east.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

School buildings such as St John's Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. Hospitals such as East Surrey Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Earlswood are no different.
